have had the car for 10 months, have nearly 11k miles on it. Loved (almost) every mile and looking forward to many more 1000's to come.
For anyone curious, I bought the car new and it had a highway speed vibration (didn't notice on the initial test drive), took me 3 trips to the dealer and 4...
Can confirm - have the 255's with the black accent package and these tires are garbage in the cold and/or wet. They start to hydroplane much earlier than the Conti DWS 06's all seasons I had on my 2008 e60 5 series. Once summer rolls around and I have finished thrashing the Pirellis (planning...
Oh true. I have cousin who does that and works all the time.
On topic, am excited for this unit and am happy to see potential improvements to the mic. Also interested in seeing if we can wire in factory mic
im sold on this unit. dont think im a contender to be a beta tester, but will be purchasing one once the final version is released, and a detailed install video exists :)
FYI site is back up now - just signed up for email notification from them for updates. Last thing to convince me to pull the trigger would be an install video which i assume they will put up on their site! Pretty excited about this.
looks promising, thanks for installing and reviewing! Any chance you could record a video of you flipping through screens, etc? Pretty interested to see responsiveness, as well as curious about how long that HVAC adjustment notification hovers, and if you are able to make it go away my tapping...
ooo that looks promising. the install is the only thing which makes me nervous (i have no experience with such things). Would need to find someone to install this for me
Hi all,
I tried searching/googling this to no avail - I emptied my JLT oil catch can this morning, and the color of the oil was almost exactly what coffee with creamer added looks like. Is this a concern? I had my oil changed about 3.5k miles prior to this. total mileage is 10k, previously...
Agreed, also no issues with water and mine is also a daily. I've checked the filter after hand washing and also after running it through a car wash, no issues.
I have the same tires/tire size, and have enjoyed the DWS 06's on my previous car (08 BMW 528xi). Would be curious to hear your thoughts on how the Conti's feel on the S550.
Yea agreed, was moreso just putting feelers out to see if anyone knew of any long expanses of paved road where I could just open it up. Appreciate the input
appreciate the replys all - getting good info for fun casual drives, and I am thinking that Dominion raceway looks like a great place to get started with an instructor. Guess im not going to find that little known about abandoned runway ive always dreamed of :D
Yea 50 is always so tempting - just nervous that I'd have some bad luck and get popped by a cop hiding somewhere.
Based on the above i'm definitely going to check out wannagofast when it comes back to our area.
thanks all for the input - signed up for wannagofast event notifications. that looks to be exactly what im looking for.
And noted about the Skyline drive - don't think i'll be chancing anything out there. I generally don't speed on public roads, except for the occasional speed burst here and...
Appreciate the input! I'll have to check those roads out. But yea I am more specifically looking for some big stretch of something where I can just punch it and get as close to the top speed of the car as possible without endangering others, or risking a ridiculous ticket!
